Default Mamba Max problems. Helppppppppppp!!!!



I just brought anew Mamba max system with a 7700 motor. I got a fatuba 2ph radio and reciever. I programmed the MM like the instructions called for and nothing. I mean I can hold the throttle back and the green like comes on but the car won't move. Same for the brakes. I push up for the brake and the red light comes on and still nothing (of course). To top it all off the steering doesn't work either.I need help. I made sure the MM was in CH2 and servo Ch1 but ,still not a thing. Somebody help please.</p>

make sure the orange wire is to the left, then disconnect the battery, reconnect the battery, turn TX on, hold max acceleration and turn the ESC on, then after some beeps hold full brake, then after some more leave it in neutral, it should make some tunes then re-arm.

I did once and he said "sounds like everything should be working fine and it may be my radio and reciever. I did not want to go out and buy a new one if I did't need it.

The motor plugged into the esc correctly? What type of battery and is it fully charged? New batteries the transmitter?

Are you waiting for the esc to arm before trying to use the transmitter?
